The first CARNIVORE album was heavily influenced by the contemporary New York metal scene. It also drew inspiration from BLACK SABBATH and early JUDAS PRIEST, whereas the second album had significant crossover influences. The \"post-apocalyptic\" theme that dominated the first album and was carried onto parts of the second album was apparently inspired by a dream Pete Steele had and which became the basis for the lyrics of \"\u003cem\u003ePredator\u003c\/em\u003e\", the first song from the original album. The lyrical theme was then expanded on to describe human society ( or the lack of one ) between imaginary World Wars III, IV and possibly V (as referenced in the song \"\u003cem\u003eWorld Wars III \u0026amp; IV\u003c\/em\u003e\"). Other lyrical themes included nihilism, anti-religious sentiment, cynicism, and explicit but tongue-in-cheek depictions of gore and despair. Song titles such as \"\u003cem\u003eJesus Hitler\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eRace War\u003c\/em\u003e\", \"\u003cem\u003eThermonuclear Warrior\u003c\/em\u003e\" and \"\u003cem\u003eGod is Dead\u003c\/em\u003e\" reflect these themes. In August 2017, it was announced that CARNIVORE would officially be reformed as \u003cstrong\u003eCARNIVORE A.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring original drummer \u003cstrong\u003eLouie Beato\u003c\/strong\u003e and guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eMarc Piovanetti\u003c\/strong\u003e along with secondary drummer \u003cstrong\u003eJoe Branciforte\u003c\/strong\u003e sharing drum duties and also introducing new member \u003cstrong\u003eBaron Misuraca\u003c\/strong\u003e as the bassist\/vocalist. The band then made their live festival debut at the 2018 edition of Hellfest. CARNIVORE's \"\u003cem\u003eRetaliation\u003c\/em\u003e\" is a legendary and authentic metal\/hc crossover album and an admittedly very heavy devastating wall of music with very much tongue in cheek lyrics. It became an absolute classic in the metal genre. It has remained unreleased for too many years and has now become very much in demand, now available again in Deluxe exclusive Limited edition 2LP vinyl and Digipack with no less than 3 bonus tracks !
